Wire CEO Benjamin Schilz said this week’s Microsoft outage highlighted the
danger of placing an organisation’s communications with a single cloud provider.
He noted technology is imperfect and outages can affect any company, but said
government agencies, the defence sector and critical infrastructure cannot
afford reliance on a single service. Digital sovereignty, he added, means not
only control of data and its storage location but the ability to keep operating
under disruption. If an organisation routes all communications through one
platform, it effectively ties its crisis-response capability to that same
platform.
